The Company is committed to developing effective, transparent and accountable corporate
governance practices. These Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Guidelines”) were approved by the
Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. (the “Company”) as a set of
guiding principles by which the affairs of the Company will be governed. The Guidelines are subject to
regular review by the Nominating and Governance Committee which may recommend to the Board that
they be modified or updated, when appropriate.

I. Board Responsibilities

(a) Responsibilities of the Board

The business of the Company is conducted by management under the direction of the Chief
Executive Officer. The Board’s responsibility is to oversee, on behalf of shareholders and other
stakeholders, the conduct of the Company’s business, to provide advice and counsel to the Chief
Executive Officer and senior management, to protect the Company’s best interests and to foster the
creation of long-term value for shareholders, taking into account the interests of other stakeholders, such
as creditors, employees and contract counterparties.

Among other things, the Board’s decision-making responsibilities include:

i) review and approval of the Company’s mission, strategies, objectives and
policies, as developed by the Chief Executive Officer and senior management;

ii) approval of director candidates recommended by the Nominating and
Governance Committee to be nominated for election by shareholders at the
general meeting of shareholders; and

iii) approval of material investments or divestitures, strategic transactions, related
party transactions and other significant transactions not in the ordinary course of
the Company’s business.1

Among other things, the Board’s oversight responsibilities include monitoring and/or making inquiries concerning:

i) the Company’s performance in relation to its mission, strategies and financial and
non-financial objectives;

ii) the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s management team;

iii) succession and development plans for key Company executives, including the
Chief Executive Officer;

In carrying out their responsibilities, Board members shall exercise their business judgment and
act in ways that they reasonably believe will serve the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and
other stakeholders, including employees, customers, lenders and the members of the communities in
which the Company operates.

(b) Expectations of Board Members

Board members are expected to:

i) become and remain informed about the Company, its business and its industry;

ii) attend all meetings of the Board and of Board committees on which they serve,
having read and considered the pre-reading materials in advance of the meeting.
Both incumbent and prospective Board members are also encouraged to attend
the Company’s general meeting of shareholders

iii) participate constructively in Board and committee meetings, drawing upon their
individual experience, knowledge and background, as appropriate, to provide
perspectives and insights.

II. Board Operations

a) Board Size

Subject to the conditions outlined in the Company’s articles of association, the number of
directors which shall constitute the Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office.

b) Board Meetings

The Board holds at least four regular meetings each year and may hold additional or special
meetings whenever necessary. Regular Board meetings are generally held in person, although Board
members may participate by conference call, if necessary. Special meetings may be held either in person
or by conference call. The Board may also act by unanimous written consent.

c) Board Agendas

The Chairman of the Board, if one shall have been elected, will establish the agenda for each
Board meeting and distribute it to directors in advance of the meeting. If a Chairman has not been
elected, the Chief Executive Officer, if a member of the Board, will establish the agenda for each Board
meeting and distribute it to directors in advance of the meeting. If the Chief Executive Officer is not a
member of the Board, the Board shall elect one of its members to establish the agenda for each Board
3
meeting and distribute it to directors in advance of the meeting. Any director may request that a subject be
included on the agenda and may raise a subject that is not on the agenda at any Board meeting.

d) Pre-Reading Materials

Pre-reading materials for the Board and committee meetings are distributed to directors
sufficiently in advance of each meeting to permit meaningful review. Materials should be as concise as
possible while still providing the information necessary for directors to make an informed judgment on
the agenda items. However, it is recognized that certain exigent circumstances may cause the materials to
be late or incomplete.

e) Board Committees

The Board has three standing committees: The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee,
and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The committees’ charters are posted on the Company’s
website. The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly reviews the Board’s committee structure
and charters in conjunction with the committee chairmen. Committee charters shall be updated where
necessary to ensure compliance with the NYSE rules, and any other applicable laws or regulations.

The Nominating and Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board relative to
committee members and chairmen consistent with the membership criteria outlined in the applicable
committee charter. Committee appointments are subject to approval of a majority of the full Board. The
Board may replace any committee chairs or members or add additional members to a Board committee at
any time during the year.

f) Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

The non-management directors meet regularly without management present in conjunction with
the Board meetings. After the executive session, a designated director will update the Chief Executive
Officer on the key items discussed. Non-management directors who are not independent under the NYSE
rules may participate in these executive sessions.

III. Director Qualifications and Board Composition

(a) Director Criteria

The Company seeks to align Board composition with the Company’s strategic direction so that
the Board members bring skills, experience and backgrounds that are relevant to the key strategic and
operational issues that they will oversee and approve. Director candidates are typically selected based
upon their character, track record of accomplishment in leadership roles, as well as their professional and
corporate expertise, skills and experience. Criteria that are typically considered by the Board in the
selection of directors include:

i) theindependence, judgment, strength of character, reputation in the business
community, ethics and integrity of the individual;

ii) the business or other relevant experience, skills and knowledge that the
individual may have that will enable him/her to provide effective oversight of the
Company’s business;

iii) thefit of the individual’s skill set and personality with those of the other Board
members so as to build a Board that works together effectively and
constructively; and

iv) individual’s ability to devote sufficient time to carry out his or her
responsibilities as a director in light of his/her occupation and the number of
boards of directors of other public companies on which he or she serves.

(b) Regulatory Requirements

Certain rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") require that a majority of the members
of our Board of Directors be “independent directors,” that the Audit Committee of our Board comprise
only “independent directors” and that a majority of the members of each of the Compensation Committee
and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board be “independent directors,” in each case, as
defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

In addition, one of the independent directors serving on the Audit Committee must qualify as a
“financial expert” as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews Board and committee composition at least
annually to ensure compliance with NYSE rules and other applicable regulatory requirements. In so
doing, the Nominating and Governance Committee conducts a review of the independence of all members
of the Board for the purposes of determining which Board members are deemed independent and which
are not. Board members must notify the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee, as
soon as practicable, in the event that their circumstances change in a manner that may impact the
committee’s view of their independence.

c) Nominating Process

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for the identification and recruitment
of director candidates for election by the shareholders and makes recommendations with respect to the
nomination of new Board members, which are subject to a vote of the full Board. In developing
recommendations for new Board candidates, the nominating process used by the committee consists of
the following steps:

i) The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews current Board composition
to determine particular skills or experience to be added or replaced through the
recruitment of new Board members. The committee informs members of the
Board, members of senior management and any search firm retained by the
committee to assist in director recruitment in light of these needs and asks for
their help in identifying strong Board candidates who would meet these
requirements and the broader director criteria outlined above.

ii) potential Board candidates identified by the search firm, the network of
contacts of the current Board and senior management and any director candidates
recommended by shareholders will be reviewed by the Nominating and
Governance Committee against these needs and the broader director criteria and
a “short list” of candidates will be prepared from this preliminary review.

iii) Reference checks on “short listed” candidates will be conducted, including
gathering references and perspectives from any current Board members or
5
members of senior management who may know the candidate. Any search firm
retained by the Nominating and Governance Committee may also assist the
committee with the reference checks.

iv) Leading candidates from the “short list” who have strong references will be
interviewed by one or more members of the Nominating and Governance
Committee, by the Chief Executive Officer and, if appropriate, other Board
members or other members of senior management. The Chairman of the
Nominating and Governance Committee will gather feedback from the
interviews.

v) The Nominating and Governance Committee will meet in person or by
conference call to discuss and make recommendations to the Board with respect
to the candidates. The full Board will then vote on the committee’s
recommendations. Those candidates approved by a majority of the Board shall
be shall be put on a list of candidates, which list shall be presented to the
Company’s shareholders for election at the general meeting.

vi) The Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the Company will contact any
candidate(s) so approved, invite them to attend the Company’s general meeting
of shareholders and to join the Board at its first meeting thereafter, if they are
elected by the Company’s shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders.

d) Director Terms

Directors shall be elected every year and shall serve for an annual term, subject to re-nomination
on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the approval by a majority of the
Board and approval by the general meeting of shareholders.

(e) Change of Position

Any director whose primary employment changes from the position that he or she held when
becoming a member of the Board will promptly notify the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance
Committee of this change.

(f) Limitations on Board Service

The Board does not believe that its members should generally be prohibited from serving on
boards and/or committees of other organizations, and except to the extent limited by the Audit Committee
Charter, the Board has not adopted any guidelines limiting such activities. However, the Chief Executive
Officer and other executive officers of the Company must receive the Board’s prior approval before
accepting any invitation to serve as a director of any other public or private company.

Prior to becoming a director of another public company, a director shall notify the Chairman of
the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Chairman of the Board, or if one has not been
elected, the Chief Executive Officer, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest and to address
whether the aggregate number of directorships held by such director would interfere with his or her ability
to carry out his or her responsibilities as a director of the Company. In the event that the Board
determines that the additional directorship constitutes a conflict of interest or interferes with such
director's ability to carry out his or her responsibilities as a director of the Company, such director, upon
the request of the Board, shall either offer his or her resignation or not accept the other directorship.

IV. Director Access to Management and Independent Advisors

(a) Access to Management

At the request of the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, members of senior management may
be invited to attend meetings of the Board to present information concerning the Company's business
within their areas of responsibility.

Directors shall have full and unrestricted access to any relevant Company records and may
request that any officer or other employee of the Company or the Company’s outside counsel or
accountants meet with any members of, or consultants to the Board or any committee. As a courtesy,
directors will exercise their judgment to ensure that this access does not impede or interfere with the
conduct of the Company’s business and is coordinated, where possible, through the Chief Executive
Officer so as not to undermine normal lines of management authority.

(b) Access to Independent Advisors

In their sole discretion, the Board and each of its committees shall have the sole authority and
responsibility to select, employ, retain and terminate any financial, legal, executive search, consulting and
other professional advisors as they deem necessary or appropriate to assist in the discharge of their
responsibilities. The Company shall provide funding to cover the professional fees and reasonable
expenses of any such independent advisors retained by the Board or any of its committees.

V. Director Compensation

The Compensation Committee shall recommend to the full Board for its approval the amount and
form of compensation to be paid to Company directors. The Board shall then recommend to the
shareholders for approval the amount and form of compensation to be paid to Company directors. The
remuneration policy shall at least include the subjects referred to in Sections 2:383c through 2:383e of the
Dutch Civil Code. The remuneration policy shall be presented to the works council (if any) for
examination as referred to in Section 2:135 subsection 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, which shall be done in
writing and simultaneously with the presentation to the general meeting of shareholders.

In making its recommendations, the Compensation Committee shall consider the director
compensation policies and practices at the Company’s principal competitors and other comparable
companies to ensure that the compensation (both direct and indirect forms) paid to the Company's
directors is reasonable. The Board shall review its directors’ compensation practices and levels annually.
Members of management who are also members of the Board shall not receive any additional
compensation for their service as directors, committee members or committee chairmen.

VI. Director Orientation and Continuing Education

(a) Director Orientation

Upon election to the Board by shareholders or appointment by any third party having the right to
appoint directors to the Company’s Board, new directors participate in an orientation session designed
jointly by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the
Company’s senior management.

(b) Continuing Education

Management shall make presentations to or arrange educational programs for the Board on
different aspects of the business of the Company, which may include business strategy, risk management,
financial reporting, products and services, industry trends and developments, corporate governance and
other relevant topics. Such presentations or sessions may be provided by management on its own
initiative or at the request of, or in conjunction with, the Nominating and Governance Committee.
Directors are also encouraged to take advantage of any other available educational opportunities that
would further their understanding of the business of the Company and enhance their performance on the
Board.

VII. Executive Succession Planning

The Board receives regular updates and recommendations from the Compensation Committee
regarding succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other key members of the Company’s
senior management team. The plan of succession includes an assessment of the experience, performance,
skills and planned career paths for possible successors for the Chief Executive Officer position and other
key executive roles. The Compensation Committee leads the annual review of Chief Executive Officer
performance, in which all Board members provide input, and oversees the Chief Executive Officer’s
performance review of senior executives for purposes of compensation decisions, succession planning
and leadership development.

VIII. Board and Committee Assessment

The Board is committed to continuous improvement and conducts an annual self-assessment of
the performance of the Board and each of the Board committees. The assessment process is led and
coordinated by the Nominating and Governance Committee. The self-assessment is designed to identify
areas where the Board and its committees are particularly effective and to surface opportunities for further
enhancement. When the self-assessments have been completed, the results and any recommendations
made by the Nominating and Governance Committee to further enhance the Board’s functioning are
discussed by the full Board.

IX. Shareholder Access to the Board

(a) Communications with Non-Management Directors

Any interested parties who have concerns that they wish to make known to the Company’s nonmanagement
directors, should send any such communication to the Chairman of the Audit Committee in
care of the Company’s executive offices at Kolthofsingel 8, 7602 EM Almelo, The Netherlands. All such
shareholder communication will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee and discussed with
the committee, which will determine an appropriate response or course of action.

(b) Shareholder Recommendations for Board Candidates

Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates to be nominated for election to the Company’s
Board by shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders may do so by sending to the attention of the
Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee at the above address the following: The
candidate’s name, a detailed biography outlining the candidate’s relevant background, professional and
business experience and other significant accomplishments, an acknowledgement from the candidate that
he or she would be willing to serve on the Board, if elected, a statement by the shareholder outlining the
reasons why this candidate’s skills, experience and background would make a valuable contribution to the
Board and a minimum of two references who have either worked with the candidate, served on a board of
8
directors or board of trustees with the candidate, or can otherwise provide relevant perspective on the
candidate’s capabilities as a potential Board member.

The number of seats that are subject to shareholder election and the deadline by which such
recommendations must be received by the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee will
be published in the Company’s annual proxy circular each year. Shareholder recommendations provided
to the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee within this timeframe will be reviewed
using the nominating process outlined in the Nominating and Governance Committee charter.

1 With respect to related party transactions causing a potential conflict of interest between an executive director
and the Company, the general meeting of shareholders shall have the right to designate one or more other
persons to represent the Company
